Chorus filters all uploads for known malware.
For example, if you accidentally upload an infected Word document or something in your files looks suspicious, Chorus will block it. Additionally, we block common file types that do not belong in Chorus, such as Windows executable files.
Why does Chorus work this way?
We want you to experience a trouble-free service. Making Chorus robustly reject malware in uploads helps prevent accidentally spreading this kind of content and gives you extra reassurance.
How it works
Chorus uploads are filtered through ClamAV (external link). The scanning takes place almost instantly on the Chorus servers without involving any third parties. You won't notice anything happening unless there is a problem.
Every day, new forms of malicious content surface on the internet, so ClamAV definitions are updated twice a day to keep up with the latest threats.
All forms of Chorus uploads (via your web browser, SFTP or Project Sync) are protected.
